Past simple

This is the lock picking lawyer, and I've mentioned in past videos how I love locks that teach me about the culture that produced them.

And this is one of those locks, remarkable in that its key way forms a symbol that post World War two is strongly associated with evil in Western cultures.

Sentences with adverbs of degree

So much so that if I even mention the name of the cylinder, there's a fair chance that YouTube will do.

Monetize may yet dating back thousands of years.

And even to this day, in places like India, China and East Asia, this is a symbol of good fortune and luck.

So much so that the wrong man lock company out of Vietnam turned it into the key way of this lock.

And it's actually not the only company to have done so.

I know of at least two other companies in Asia to have done something similar.

As for the loch itself, it's a small furniture lock, and only three of the four arms on the key way have pins in them.

There are four pins in each, so we have 12 pins total.

But despite this being relatively complex and ornate, it doesn't look particularly well made.

So we're going to try to pick this open and we're going to start with a raking attack.

It is the top arm that has no pins in it.

So that's where I'm going to put this wiper insert and we're going to start with this wave rake.

I'm going to rake the pens in each of the arms and then move on just going around the key way until we get an open.

And we'll probably have to do this a couple of times because once this starts turning, it will lock up again at the quarter turn mark.

Hopefully, that means we're getting close.

Should be easier since only two of the arms have pins that are engaging now and there we go.

So, as you can see, not a terribly tricky lock to pick, though the number of pins and the three different arms in which they're arranged can make it time consuming toe open in any case.
